The Reading Bus by Sheena Blackhall

The Reading Bus is fun on wheels

It takks ye fur a hurl

It wheechs ye aff tae Story Lan

Far feys an kelpies birl!

Takk tent, that’ aa the pyement

As ye lippen, spikk or tell!

The mervel o the words that’s screived

Will catch ye in their spell!

Sae step aboord the Reading Bus

An dinna let it pass!

The traivellers are ony age

The journey is first class.

Primary Enterprisers - 2006

The new Primary Enterprise Reading Bus Committee had their first meeting in January 2006. Their first task is to produce their own radio show about the Reading Bus. They have shown tremendous enthusiasm, creativity and skill and their show - “Reading Radio” will be broadcast in May 2006. These youngsters have already be helping with presentations about the Reading Bus. In March 2006 Savannah and Juuso did their first presentation to Cultural Co-ordinators from all over Scotland. Their slide show and talk was very well received.

The 2006 Primary Enterprise Committee worked hard to create their own radio show about the Reading Bus. The ten pupils from the primary schools within the St Machar Community met every week at Station House Media Unit in Woodside. They learned interviewing skills and presenting techniques as well as how to use the recording equipment, edit their sound tracks and create jingles. The enterprising youngsters created their own questions and interviewed Tyrone Smith, Sports Presenter from North Tonight. They also visited North Sound to interview John McRuvie.

Primary Enterprisers - 2005

Involvement of pupils in the Reading Bus Project has been central to the success of the campaign. Through funding from “Determined to Succeed” youngsters have been given a genuine voice in shaping the initiative. They have been involved in a number of different enterprise initiatives which have included fundraising, marketing, designing, broadcasting as well as become very skilled at giving presentations about the Reading Bus.

The 2005 Primary Enterprise Committee had a very active year.
At the Aberdeen City Education (ACE) Award Ceremony in June 2005 these young enterprisers won a special award. Their work was described as “breathtaking and audacious”.

See the Year Profile for highlights of their year.
